When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 360

Orion slowly closed his eyes, "Just make sure she's safe."

He could handle his own business.

---

Back at her dorm, Lemira couldn't shake off the incident at the gym earlier that day.

It was surprising to see Orion, usually so composed and aloof, losing his cool.

The way he threw punches was a far cry from his usual refined demeanor.

Could it be that Orion had secrets he wasn't telling?

The next day, Janice sent her a link: "Heard about this creep getting caught at the gym across from campus. Be extra careful if you're heading there, heard quite a few girls had run-ins with him."

Clicking on the link, Lemira saw it was indeed about the incident from yesterday.

So, her hunch was right; that jerk had managed to prey on several girls, even going as far as harming them.

Just regular college girls, how could they stand a chance against a grown man, let alone a repeat offender?

It seemed she had indeed rid the community of a menace.

But Orion got hurt in the process. She grabbed her phone to message him: [You awake?]

[Yeah, what's up?]

[Send a pic, let me see.]

Leaning against his bed's headboard, Orion replied, [What do you want to see?]

Seeing his message, Lemira quickly locked her phone, afraid someone might see.

After calming herself, she unlocked her phone and replied, [The band-aid I put on you yesterday.]

[It's still there.]

[I don't believe you. Show me.]

[Why don't you come see for yourself?]

Staring at the chat, Lemira wondered if he ever spoke straightforwardly.

After class, Lemira headed to the eSports team's base; it was time to train with her teammates.
